The situation in Australia sounds similar to
the USA. Major manufacturing firms are only now
beginning to address the Non-IT aspect of Year
2000. It is interesting to note that these
companies have usually had Year 2000 projects
underway for their IT systems for some time, and
usually deny that there are any problems on the
factory floor.
We are a consulting company specialising in
embedded systems, and it is always amazing how
quickly the denial disappears when we show the
client actual examples of where their systems
are impacted by Year 2000 problems.
To identify many of the problems, we actually
scan the PLC application code and other
software applications used within the
manufacturing process. We can then direct
attention to the exact area where systems will
be impacted and acurately predict the failure
mode and remedial actions required.
Is this the standard way that others on the list
are approaching Year 2000 impact analysis of
critical manufacturing systems?
